RE: would a carbon fiber rod be strong enough to hinge a removable rudder?
For my radio set up I'm using an Airtronics 7ch 2.4 received and a SD-10G radio. Servos I'm using Futaba 9151 on the rudder and elevator and 9102's on the ailerons. I guess I'm going to use one battery pack which is a Fromeco 7.4 volt 2600mah lithium Ion pack and a Sahara voltage regulator on a JR heavy duty switch. I still need to install a throttle servo and mount some stuff down. I was holding off on that till I was able to check for proper balance. Luckily its balancing out good. I will probably swap out the 23 ounce bladder tank for a standard one.
